There are ways to be less ignorant about capitalism and relative things. Not many good ones. You can find a few on my book list. I'm working to correct that. Then you should be eager to read, learn, research, and contemplate stuff. Be open ended. You don't know what you'll discover. Good. But not nearly enough. Not-knowing is not just about admitting it, it's a whole lifestyle and state of mind. Try sitting for 5 minutes and just basking in I-don't-knowness.

You can't know that ahead of time! That's the point. You are asking for an epistemic foundation. The nature of reality is intimately tied with everything else so it should to be avoided here. If you admit you don't know, you might be motivated to read some books on capitalism. Yes, it takes work. You want a shortcut. And I am trying to show you that a shortcut here is a mistake. There is no shortcut for learning to distinguish truth from falsehood. The nature of reality is entangled with how you think about reality and with your survival. If these things were seperate, everything would be easy.

@LoveandPurpose But you are asking for a foundation. Do you want a foundating grounded in truth or falsehood? If truth, then your foundation must be not-knowing because that is most true for you. You do not know how to distinguish truth from falsehood. But if you want a foundation grounded in falsehood, then proceed as you were. I am not speaking of the Absolute here. I am speaking very practically. You do not know how to distinguish truth from falsehood even in the relative domain. For example, you do not even know if the Earth is flat. This has serious implications in the relative domain. I am not even talking about the Absolute here. You are so far from the Absolute that it's nothing but a fantasy for you at this point. Notice that a lot of epistemic mistakes are made in relative domain. If you want a foundation, it's best that your foundation not be based on falsehood. No one can give you a foundation because how would you know what they gave you is true? A foundation can only be derived by yourself through personal inquiry and contemplation.

The I is everything and nothing. You can become the floor or the girl, but then "you" as an ego-mind would be dead. And you're terrified of that. So you don't go there unless absolutely forced. The ego I is just a function of survival. You are too busy surviving to surrender yourself.

It happens. Stay calm and carry on.

There cannot be such a thing because reality is groundless and all knowledge is circular, relative, and self-biased. Any foundation you adopt will be imaginary and itself subject to doubt. Go foundationless. Practice not-knowing. That will put you closest to Truth. "Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I'll meet you there."

@karkaore Careful. 1 gram of pure harmala extract is A LOT. That will make the DMT super potent.

It should be effective after consuming harmala, which you're already doing.

@karkaore You can find pure harmala on eBay.

Not sure about that, never had PTSD. You should be able to handle MDMA solo. The only psychedelic you shouldn't be doing solo is salvia. The rest are mostly handle-able at moderate doses. Of course your results may vary. Some people have poor self-control.

Are you using pure harmala extract? Or actual syrian rue seeds? Make sure your extract is potent. Otherwise you'll need more of it. Also I've read this technique doesn't always activate. People suggest mixing the DMT with Cola and also eating some carbs like bread or apples immediately after consuming it to help with activation. Be careful. This combo can make for some long and powerful trips. Start low. You might also consider plugging the DMT rather than eating it.

That's not the point. Plugging is different kind of trip. 5 minutes of DMT ain't gonna do much for ya.

I assume so, but haven't tried it yet. I want to try plugging MAOI. 100mg harmala extract + 50 to 100mg DMT. It should work but must be proven.

I've tried several times and it did not work. Not sure why. It might require a very large dose.

You are creating a self-fulling prophecy. It doesn't have to be hell. Why you keep insisting on it?? Terrible idea. The whole point is to face the Truth sober. If you have to dull yourself to face Truth, you ain't ready for it. You're not really facing it.

There is no observer. What "you" "feel" there is ego clinging for survival. Self is imaginary. Look at a rock. Does it have a self? No. Neither does a body. Who is observing the rock? No one. A rock just is. Same goes for the body.

Self-actualizing, reiki, astrology, growth, etc is not awakening.

First time hearing of it. I sorta doubt that vague "law" would stop Bloomberg.

@billiesimon When you look inside yourself, you find Nothing. That's what you are. The mistake is expecting to find something which has any kind of quality. It will have no qualities whatsoever.

No, no, no.

There is no boundary between body and mind. No boundary between controller and controlled.

As I have said, the highest beings in the universe will teach Love and Consciousness. That could be machine elves, angels, aliens, gurus, whatever. The machine elves are simply telling you about your true nature. Personally I have not met any non-human/non-animal beings yet. I don't really need to meet them to understand that highest truths because I can access it directly. I don't need an alien to tell me that I am love. But if you need an alien to tell you that, well, go find your alien.

Psychedelics are proven to be quite effective for alcohol addiction. Psychedelics can help with that. Of course there's no guarantee. What I said wasn't ill or even directed at him. There is a lesson here for you not to blindly follow the advice of others just because it sounds good. Sometimes advice sounds good as a quote, yet it's wrong.

Said a man who died of alcohol addiction. If he was less arrogant about psychedelics, maybe they could have healed him.

The biggest danger is that once he loses the Dem nomination he could run as 3rd party against Sanders, splitting the vote and thereby re-electing Trump. He probably sees Bernie as worse than Trump, so he will not have any qualms about doing so.
